Unboxing: The January - February BDJ Box

Hey guys, Gong Xi Fa Cai! My family has like, only 1/16th Chinese blood but hey! Who wouldn't want to celebrate when this is the holiday that I can pig out on tikoy? By now you should know how much of a pig face I am. I should have my own hashtag by now #littlepigletgoestoeat right?

Speaking of celebration, I'm doing a happy dance because this little box came in the mail yesterday. Halloo BDJ Box! So let's get to unboxing it shall we?

The theme of the box is "Change it Up!". I get it, new year, fresh start. And what better way to do a little change of your appearance but through a new hair color. First item on the box is a full size Garnier Color Naturals in Darkest Brown. I'm actually looking forward to getting a striking hair color this year so I might tuck this in the corner for the mean time. 

Next full size item on the box is Avon's Face Pearls. A shimmery blush that comes in compact beads! Really pretty, reminds me of The Body Shop Brush-on Beads. Will do a separate post on this as I think I need proper swatching on this.

Another full size item on the box is the Beauty and Bright Moringa Soap. Moringa seems to the it beauty product at the moment, (Moringa by the way is malunggay for us Filipina's). But who wouldn't love this stuff? It's packed with vitamins and minerals and comes from a very natural product, hence the number of brands churning out their own take of this ingredient. The plus thing about this beauty bar, is that other than mooring, it also has papaya and kojic acid. With all of that stuff, ewan ko pa kung hindi ka pumuti! LOL!

Of Life's Questions and What-not's

How do I prettify for an event? I was asked to answer this question in my bid to score passes to the upcoming Beauty Social Event brought to you by BDJ Box team. It sort of morphed into a blog post as I felt this is one of life's questions that anyone can really relate to and can show some insight on a person's character. 

Hmmm... Let me count the ways. But unfortunately if I go and count all the ways, I'd end up talking myself blue even before I get to finish. Anyway just to make things simple, I'll just focus on the 3 easy steps I take whenever I'm preparing for an event. 

Step 1:

Take advantage of the reason to stay longer in your bath. 

Makeup can only do so much. A clean, smooth and healthy skin the best base for anything. So I take my time scrubbing my skin with my favorite Human Nature Body Scrub and make sure to rub it all the areas I don't get to put much attention on during my daily bath. This just helps in breaking down all the dry skin, making way for the new supple layer of skin.
